a perfect stranger...

shore beach ground
thread string rope
maroon necklace
uncanny unknown
odd exotic
novel unusual
outre alien
queer quaint
direct upright
honest frank
pure unmixed aligned
his smile....??
PEARL...
his face....??
a familiar TOPAZ...
his heart
i know not...!!
RUBY
AMETHYST
a gem
a jewel
precious to me........
sweet ice
mousse....melon
special sundae
pudding pie.......
was he a sherrif ??
a goon??
an informer??
a king??
an emperor dethroned??
know i not...!!
else..other
diverse another
unlike others.....??
or dime-a-dozen ??
"NO!!!"..I thought.....
sneerer scorner snob...??
dejected discouraged
dampened disheartened
by the mask he wore
cloak,camouflage....a disguise ??
is he an illusion??
an illness?
an ailment?
malady of a mad lady??
a dream...?
a longing...?
an affection??
a newcomer..?
an outsider..?
a foreigner....?
an outlander....?
he was just a stranger...
a perfect stranger...!!!
